DENIM! DENIM! DENIM!! Whoever came up with the fabric is genius!!! Denim is one of my favorite fabrics of all times. Maybe because I was a little tom-boyish growing up and always climbing tree, climbing fences, walking through parks and woods that the need and love for denim became life for me.

6 months before our annual Church conference, I challenged myself to make all of my outfits for that week. I actually did it the year before, but it was actually unintentional. At that time, I had been sewing consistently for 2 years at that time and when it came time to organize myself for packing I realized that all of my clothes with the exception of 1 were made by me. So I took on the challenge of making that last outfit to complete my quest.

I first spotted the inspiration dress on Facebook almost a year before making. I loved it so that I had a screenshot of it in my phone as a future goal. To this day, I have no idea where that original picture came from to give it props. It wa…

Ever since YouTube made a suggestion of me watching a video with Gretchen Hirsch, through Good Housekeeping TV, I've been secretly stalking Gretchen a.k.a. "Gertie". To see her reminds me to the Stepford wives movie and how the actors dresses so vintage. Vintage. That's a great way to describe her aesthetic. To me, she is the Vintage Queen! As I became more serious about my drive for sewing, I decided to start my Sewing book library. I managed to get my hands on 2 of her books - Gertie's New Book for Better Sewing and Gertie's Ultimate Dress Book. Below you will see my video review of these 2 books. These are books that you definitely want on your shelf. I find the Ultimate Dress Book tobe more of a text book style. She starts from the very beginning of sewing. She even teaches about the different types of fabric. Every beginner, intermediate, and Advanced sewer can learn from this book. Check out the video and let me know what you think in the commen…

I’ve been making circle skirts for a few years now. I often get frustrated over the moment whenI have to put in a zipper. With my busy schedule, I barely get in enough time to sew, and usually when I do, I am extremely sleepy and exhausting. Which means chances of my garment coming out totally perfected is 50/50. Recently, I was asked to make a circle skirt with a tulle covering for my daughter’s best friend. If you’ve been following me for a while, you know sewing for anyone other thanmyself gives me anxiety. I haven’t really sewn since August. Inserting a zipper?? Probably longer than that. I remembered some years ago, I purchased a skirt similar to the one she was requesting.I then went on a search to find a way to make this garment for her without having to inserta zipper. I found a video from What the Craft that came a long with a template to guide me in making the skirt. When I looked at it, it looked familiar. Someone had sent me thisguide a while back only when I used…
